Remember when Ford unveiled the GT, Shelby GT350R, and F-150 Raptor at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show? If so, you'll probably remember how all three models wore an identical shade of blue. The color is called Liquid Blue, and unfortunately, it's only available on the GT supercar. But somehow, the world's only Fiesta ST painted this color got sold to a random Ford fan, searching for a deal on a Fiesta ST.

On the Oppositelock forum, user quite98 tells the story of how they ended up buying the very Fiesta ST featured at the Auto Show. Quite98 was searching for a deal on a Fiesta ST a few months ago, when a 2015 example with only 57 miles turned up for sale in Nashville. The listing said the car was painted Performance Blue, a factory Fiesta color. But Quite98 realized something was going on with this car: The color was clearly Liquid blue, and the seats were trimmed with a non-factory white leather surround.

A VIN lookup revealed this was no ordinary Fiesta. Quite98 says the car's original owner was listed as Ford Motor Company, confirming their hunch: This was the show car from the auto show.

Quite98 contacted the Nashville dealer with an offer, but they didn't move quickly enough. The car then went back to a dealer auction house. In a stroke of luck, the Fiesta ended up at a dealer 10 miles from quite98's home, so they bought it as soon as they found out.

Since this seems to be the world's only Liquid Blue Fiesta, Quite98 ended up with a very special car. Perhaps we'll see this car command a hefty price at an auction 50 years from now. It is, after all, a factory one-of-one.
